FOR HER SAKE
S2 - Father-in-Law

Alvaro has been home since late afternoon. There is a sense of worry, Mommy Shevi will complain to his wife.

What he feared was not proved. Tiara just got home at 8 p.m. With a tired and crumpled face. The reason is that after practicum directly work on group tasks as well as reports.

The woman immediately cleaned herself up and prepared to go to sleep.

"Yank, I was -"

"Tomorrow, Al. I'm making a big cape." cut Tiara as soon as Alvaro would tell her about the incident this afternoon.

"So soon, yank, let's talk for a minute."

"I'm actually cape, Al. Tomorrow huh?" Tiara rubbed her husband's jaw. Give her a sweet smile and a good night kiss.

Alvaro exhaled. Get out of bed and choose to do a thesis or work that today has not been touched, after Tiara actually fell asleep.

It's always like that. Since then Tiara has been busy with her studies. They have less time to talk.

If asked, is the man bored?

Ja. Alvaro is bored with the marriage he is living. Or rather tired of the current state of their relationship. Their relationship is increasingly empty with their respective activities.

Since Tiara returned to college. She was busy with school and the kids.

While Alvaro is busy with a myriad of jobs because of the rapid development of his office. In fact, he has started recruiting professionals as his flagship architecture.

Not to mention the busy thesis that drains time for the family.

Tiara and Alvaro only meet at night in bed. They are still doing their respective obligations to provide an inner living to the couple.

But forget the important points. Husband and wife relationships despite routine in do not make their relationship back intact as before.

Even though they still love each other. But with their communication lacking. Time to just sit together and talk from heart to heart, from important to trivial things that are not even very important, it is very influential for the estrangement of their relationship.

Because sometimes the trivial things they talk about are more important than the most important things. The laughter that belongs only to them is the glue of their household. Things that others don't see.

And without them knowing it, they open a gap for the entry of a third person who might be able to separate them if only they did not introspect and improve themselves.

In the afternoon, Alvaro is called to the office of daddy Alvin to discuss the kindergarten project of the social foundation mommy Shevi and there are new projects from important and influential clients.

Having previously stopped by the office to retrieve the required files. Check out other work as well. Alvaro immediately slid into the skyscraper where his father-in-law led the company.

There. As usual, Alvaro went straight to Alvin's daddy's room.

Employees there already know who Alvaro is in the Mahesa family.

"Get in." said a voice from inside the room as soon as daddy Alvin's secretary knocked on the door.

"Mas Alvaro has arrived, sir." reports the secretary of the heavily pregnant daddy Alvin.

"Send him in. Just get Jodi here." that's the word right there.

Not long after Alvaro entered Jodi. Dady Alvin's loyal assistant.

As promised, they discussed their ongoing cooperation project. Continued several other projects that will daddy Alvin entrust to the company of the son-in-law.

Nothing has disappointed me so far. Daddy Alvin was always satisfied with the project he entrusted to the Alvaro startup.

"You can get this one from another project that daddy loves. You see, Mr. Haris is a perfectionist. If he wants that day to be, then we have to be able to."

Alvaro nodded in understanding. And it seems that his own hands should work. Because the name of the company as a bet.

If he can finish this project and satisfy Mr. Haris. That means the way in the business world is getting open. And vice versa. If he disappointed his important client this time, there would be many clients who no longer believed in his company.

"Al will do it, Dad. If the other project could be the children who hold."

Daddy Alvin has always liked Alvaro's attitude. His responsibilities and mental readiness were not in doubt.

"Yes already. You can get out Jod. Take care of the contract."

"Good Sir. Then excuse me."

After Jodi resigned, Daddy Alvin invited Alvaro to talk about something more serious than work.

"How's your household doing?" ask daddy Alvin straight to the point.

"I-I mean daddy?" alvaro's feelings are starting to get bad. The young man gulped his saliva.

Being held directly by the father of the woman he married, seems to be on trial for being caught stealing.

Or the same as proposing to the girl he hamili. He never knew what it was like to propose to a girl. There was clearly fear, worry and tension mixed into one.

"Yes.. With the busy Tiara as a student and you are busy working as well thesis. The kids aren't you ignoring, are you? they're not lacking your attention and affection, are they?"

"The kids often protest at me. Only after being given an explanation can the children understand." replied Alvaro hesitated. Because he himself does not know for sure his children do understand or they are forced to understand the circumstances.

"But you still have time for them, right?" fawning daddy Alvin again.

Alvaro. "As much as possible if Tiara comes home late, I go home sooner. And vice versa."

"Thank God if it's like that. Don't let your ambitions put the children's feelings aside. What's more, Fari and Vindra still need the attention of the two of you" said daddy Alvin who now rests his back on the back of the sofa.

"They're too small to understand your busyness. So please take your time as much as possible to take the grandchildren of daddy for a walk. Or at least play."

Alvaro. There was guilt in his heart.

If daddy Alvin was just thinking about the feelings of his two sons, why could he ignore them?

Just because both of his heroes never protested and whined to ask him to accompany the play. He thought his children did not need him to accompany them.

Either his young soul who has not understood the mindset of his children. Or the person who does not want to learn to understand. Learn to be a good father.

"Then what is your relationship with your wife?"

"Ba-good dad." again Alvaro's answer is not sure.

Daddy Alvin raised both eyebrows feeling dissatisfied and unsure of his son-in-law's answer.

"A little bit.lack is possible." replied Alvaro honestly. "Sometimes Tiara comes home tired. Sometimes I go home too late until Tiara and the kids are asleep. Less communication."
